Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

shocked that the Carlin "AI" special was actually just written by the asshole. Imagine being ghost writer for an AI. (www.nytimes.com)

Del declined to comment about whether the Carlin-sounding voice was generated by A.I.

I bet they used an AI trained on Carlin's work to create this special, but ~~Lugosi v. Universal Pictures, IMO (IANAL) means Carlin's family will likely lose a suit based on imitating his likeness.~~ Good thing I'm not a lawyer because apparently there's several laws now, starting with the "California Celebrities Rights Act" meaning likeness rights are inherited and good for 70 years.
